Hi,
After some weeks where everything worked perfectly fine, yesterday the tape did not come out.
I am using a daily tape rotation as explained in the manual:

The error I got is:

You are correct. The --disable... won't work
Here's why:

The only time if fails to build gconsole is if the system is RH7.

Hi all
Does anybody have experience with bacula been used to backup an Oracle
database
in a Windows 2003 server with vss enabled.
We have a customer who wishes to backup his oracle database to a remote
server so we would backup his main server and restore that in the remote
server every day.

I have the following indexes defined in my postgersql db.
bacula=> \di+ (file_|job_)*
Schema | Name | Type | Owner | Description | Table
+---+---++-+--
public | file_fp_idx | index
Maybe its because I am a bit tired, but that was the best laugh I have
had all day... thank you :)

--disable-gconsole is not an option when using rpmbuild. Did you mean
something like --define "disable_gconsole 1" or something like that?

I'm working on finalizing my setup of bacula. I have all of my clients
appearing to backup successfully. Each client is provided with an individual
storage device (I'm backing up to files broken out by client directories) so
that I can have multiple clients backing up at the same time.

Perfect - thanks for the fixed query!
I've attached the updated version of the script here and uploaded it to the
wiki.

My problem is resolved. The cause was I did not modify SD config file to

Steve,
I wouldn't count myself as an expert at Bacula, but I will try to answer
your question. Others can chime in if I have overlooked something.
To answer your question, is should be possible indeed. Since the fd.conf
file lists multiple directors by default (one for general purpose and

This little problem seems to come up repeatedly.
To solve it simply add a RunBeforeJob that does a ping of the workstation
before performing the actual job.
RunBeforejob = "/usr/sbin/ping "
should do it (add any other params to ping that take your fancy.
Thus you use ping to determine your tim
Dear All
Is there a Timeout option so that the server does not wait 30 minutes when
a workstation is off line or not powered on. This is a frequent situation
I encounter when trying to backup laptops during the day.
I would like to set the limit to 5 minutes.
Thanks
